The policy in contention seeks to end profits in accredited
educational institutions, subsidies for private high schools, and
admissions selectivity. At this stage, the reform has the support of the Socialist, Christian Democrat, and Communist parties of Chile.

Francisco Sánchez, a researcher at the Foundation for Progress, explained to the PanAm Post
that the NM coalition has secured enough votes in both houses of the
Chilean Congress to pass the reform: “It will most likely become law.
It’s one of the symbolic promises of the presidential campaign, for
which the political cost is nonexistent given that the population is not
aware of the problems with education reform.”
